Stolen patient data from Dutch firm ChipSoft destroyed after cyberattack
"ChipSoft confirmed that all data stolen in the ransomware attack has been destroyed in a technically sound manner, although the specifics of this process remain undisclosed."

"Recovery from the ransomware attack is proceeding smoothly, but ChipSoft emphasizes that this process requires care and time to ensure the integrity of customer data."
ChipSoft experienced a ransomware attack in early April, leading to the theft of medical personal data. The company confirmed the destruction of the stolen data but did not disclose whether a ransom was paid. The attack, attributed to the ransomware group Embargo, prompted ChipSoft to take its applications offline as a precaution. Recovery is reported to be proceeding smoothly, with a focus on protecting customer data. ChipSoft holds a significant market share in electronic health record software in the Netherlands.
